bridging

[mom721]

i had surgery for mycardial bridging about 8 years ago.  i was wondering if once you have the surgery can you have problems again.  i have been short of breath for about 2 weeks and been having  slight chest pains and have been really tired lately. my ekg and chest e-ray comes back normal.

I doubt it, I believe this is a defect that forms as you do in the womb. Instead of a major artery running over the heart muscle, it grows through a portion of it and the muscle encompasses it. Once removed, the bridge should not reproduced because your heart is already formed.
